The International Cult, a Family My story with the Model United Nations does not start with a recruiting table or event day, but instead started with the past; AnnDee Pettiford. She was the person that persuaded me to try out for the team, an audition. She warned me that I would regret life, regret my decisions, and cry countless tears over it. I brushed off her words of caution and thought to myself that I could tackle any giant that stood before me. No program, no class, and organization would prevent me from new things. I was David, and this program, this class, was my Goliath. My first interactions were none of confidence. I sat in the chair, the first for the grinders, the newest blood. I shook in my chair while thoughts of failure…

must look into the motives for its inception. The seeds of the World Trade Organization were planted initially as an international trade agreement known as the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT); an agreement on the reduction of trade barriers of manufactured goods.

of emergency supplies after a national disaster. However, one source states that although governments have given over US$1 trillion in development-related aid, the desired goals of reducing poverty, improving infrastructure and maintaining economic conditions in the developing world have not come to fruition (Moyo, 2009).

propagation of personal technological services this process was seen as routine. However, after the technological boom people became accustomed to service at the click of a button. No longer was it routine to drive to a building, but now it is considered time-consuming. Waiting upon government documents to arrive via USPS is now a tedious process when compared to the instantaneous nature of e-mail. Technology had changed the expectations of individuals, thus changing expectations of government.…

She redefined the position of the first lady, helped to create the Declaration of Human Rights, and leads as an example for all women. Roosevelt portrays the American Dream because she overcame hardship in her youth and achieved success through her hard work and determination while serving as a first lady and, afterwards, when serving as a leader at the United Nations. Although Eleanor Roosevelt's family had money, it does not mean her life was all that easy. In her early life, Eleanor…

As a result of the condemnation of racism, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights confirmed that everyone was equal (Rist, 69). This basis of thinking was behind the development of Truman’s “Four Points”, more specifically the fourth point. By 1948, America’s foreign policy focused on the major changes which took place in the world…

Additionally, multinational companies development is influenced by globalization that the companies can acquire more opportunities to expand the industry scale and user…

According to the United Nations, human population is expected to breakthrough eleven billion people over the next century; where exponential growth is parallel to a similar surge and emphasis in the intrinsic problems of today’s society (United Nations, 2015).
